I've had this camera for a few years and haven't used it much, which is a shame because it's a fun camera to use and it has a lens that performs much better than expected.
It's quirky and that's what makes it fun to use. The most unusual feature (to me) is the bottom left hand film advance. It's a shutter priority camera, but I use it in manual mode since the meter is about 3 stops off. Besides, the top asa for this camera which came out in 1961 is 200. The self timer works, the lens is clean with some minor dust. Shutter speeds run from B, 1 sec up to 1/500.
Last year I cleaned the viewfinder and adjusted the infinity focus. I also replaced the old foam with some spare foam that I had purchased from Jon Goodman. The last roll I used in it I left in the camera for about three months, no light leaks. The rear viewfinder glass has a minor crack which doesn't affect focusing.
Included is the camera, original lens cap, cover, and and and original instruction manual
$60 dollars via Paypal or postal money order includes shipping in the U.S. A little more for international shipping.
